Hello, friends! I was sick last week so this is a pretty short video. There were lots of crafty thoughts during the week, and I’d love your opinion on an idea I’ve had.
I forgot to mention that I did manage to paint and hang the birdfeeder I showed last week. There’s a quick photo in the intro.
Y’all! The bookcase quilt top for my husband is DONE!
Some info about this quilt:
The Project of Doom and many other bookcase quilt blocks are all on Fandom in Stitches. Look for “Bookcase Quilts” in the purple menu. Indiana Jones blocks by Holly Urbain and Lantern block by Wendi Riggens. All other blocks were designed by me. Additional books-only filler blocks will be coming soon, free for personal use, via Fandom in Stitches and Sewhooked.
I designed the overall quilt and all of my quilt block patterns using EQ8.
I designed all the book titles and many of the embroidery items myself using Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1.
I’m still chug chug chugging away at the titles for my hub’s bookcase block and am really pleased with progress so far. March 1 was our next to last post for the TTMT BOM! You can find those pattern links below.
The flower vine on the Aragorn & Arwen book is from an OESD Heirloom Legacy set (plants & birds), design DC067_48. It’s from an older CD set and I could not locate it on their website.
I have been using Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1 to create my book titles and draw images for this quilt. Several people have asked what I’ve used to “turn” my images into embroidery, and the simplest answer is that I draw them myself in Stitch Artist 1. They are not “digitized” but drawn by me specifically as embroidery images.
This week I finally get to work on my to do list and not just stuff to keep me occupied while waiting for my wrist to heal! I posted a new Raggedy Rescue Q & A last week and have a new rescue in the works. Fandom in Stitches updates will also be happening again starting later this week.
In which I share the single YoD block I finished since I last talked to you and talk a tiny bit about the Kingdom Hearts quilt delivery!
The machine embroidery sets I used in this block are all listed below. As I mention in the video, I have quite a collection of Ancient Egyptian-themed machine embroidery designs.

In which I share the final water bottle bag made from waxed canvas (purchased from sailrite.com), a stack of quilts in progress for The Linus Connection, and a chat about what I want to work on next!

This super simple pattern is a picture frame to fussy cut fabric, add your own printed fabric, or the quilt block of your choice.
The inside of the frame measures 6″x8″ (6 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ with seam allowance).
The block is 10“ (10 1/2“) and will mix and match with any Project of Doom or Year of Doom bookcase quilt block.
The quilt along is taking place during the entire year of 2021. This post includes the patterns that I personally have shared so far. Be sure to check out Fandom in Stitches for more awesome blocks from a wide variety of designers. All designers are volunteers and all patterns are free for personal and non-profit use.
